Step On Bride: A Borrowed Ring and a Fake Engagement

By Mallary Mitchell

Ho Ho Humbug. So much for holiday joy...

The important talk Marley Paige's long-distance boyfriend wanted to have wasn't to propose. Nope. He did want to share that he'd found his perfect match; it just wasn't her. Granted, she didn't want to marry the guy, but she had kind of oversold the fact she had a serious boyfriend to her grandmother. The word “love” may even have escaped her lips. Now, she has to own up to her oversell and ruin her family's Christmas...or does she?

When Wyatt Porter took his grandmother's engagement ring to propose, he thought his girlfriend would say yes, which she did—before she moved on to someone else and lost the ring. So when his old classmate and nemesis steps onto his tour trolley wearing that heirloom ring, and his family assumes he and Marley are engaged, he does what any guy in his situation would do, he doesn't correct them. And for some unknown reason Marley plays along. Sure, he can't stand her, and she despises him, and no one would ever believe the two of them would ever get together, But that's so totally why Marley is Wyatt's perfect step-on bride.

Reviews for Step On Bride

[penelopemarzec · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Wyatt and Marley have a history going way back to the day he took her retainer in school. He was trying to get her to notice him. She wound up going to another school after that. Then one day she finds a ring underneath the gazebo. The ring happens to belong to Wyatt's grandmother. From there on in, this story rolls along. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the mishaps as well as the sweet moments along the way. A delightful holiday read.
